The GLEAMS (Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management System, version 3.0) water quality model was used to predict hydrology and water quality and to evaluate the effects of soil types from a cattle-grazed pasture field of Bermuda-Rye grass rotation with poultry litter application as a fertilizer in North Alabama. The model was applied and evaluated by using four years (1999-2002) of field-measured data to compare the simulated results for the 2.71- ha Summerford watershed. $R^2$ values between observed and simulated runoff, sediment yields, TN, and TP were 0.91, 0.86, 0.95, and 0.69, respectively. EI (Efficiency Index) of these parameters were 0.86, 0.67, 0.70, and 0.48, respectively. The statistical parameters indicated that GLEAMS provided a reasonable estimation of the runoff, sediment yield, and nutrient losses at the studied watershed. The soil infiltration rates were compared with the rainfall events. Only high intensity rainfall events generated runoff from the watershed. The measured and predicted infiltration rates were higher during dry soil conditions than wet soil conditions. The ratio of runoff to precipitation was ranging from 2.2% to 8.8% with average of 4.3%. This shows that the project site had high infiltration and evapotranspiration which generated the low runoff. The ratio of runoff to precipitation according to soil types by the GLEAMS model appeared that Sa (Sequatchie fine sandy loam) soil type was higher and Wc (Waynesboro fine sandy loam, severely eroded rolling phase) soil type relatively lower than the weighted average of the soil types in the watershed. The model under-predicted runoff, sediment yields, TN, and TP in Wb (Waynesboro fine sandy loam, eroded undulating phase) and Wc soil types. General tendency of the predicted data was similar for all soil types. The model predicted the highest runoff in Sa soil type by 105% of the weighted average and the lowest runoff in Wc soil type by 87% of the weighted average

This study investigates the kimchi from Jangsu area (JSK) and its comparison with commercial kimchi (CMK). We conducted a sensory evaluation for the pH, titratable acidity, salinity, hunter's color values and mechanical characteristics of kimchi. The pH of JSK is significantly higher than CMK throughout the fermentation (p<0.001). At 15 days, JSK reached the stage of optimal maturity for pH 4.23~4.55 and CMK showed pH 3.96~4.00 as conditions after the optimal maturity (p<0.001). From the results of acidity analyses, CMK also showed higher acidity values than JSK (p<0.001), indicating that the rate of fermentation progress was faster in CMK. Salinity of JSK was a litter higher than CMK1 and CMK2 (p<0.001) and JSK indicated significantly higher L, a, b values during fermentation (p<0.001). Moreover, the textural values were significantly higher in JSK2 and JSK3 retaining hardness of the tissues. In the sensory assessment, the color, flavor, crispness, taste, and overall preferences were higher in JSK3 at 15 days and 30 days than CMK. Therefore, it seems necessary for recipe developments of kimchi with local characteristics in order to industrialize kimchi by using alpine crops at Jangsu area.

A 0.19 hectare natural-type wetland for stream water treatment demonstration was constructed and planted with cattails from April 2001 to May 2001. Part of its bottom surfaces adjacent to levees have a variety of slope of 1 : 4~1 : 15. Two small open water areas were installed, in which emergent plants could not grow. Removal of nutrients from stream waters was a major objective of the wetland. Waters of Sinyang Stream flowing into Kohung Estuarine Lake were pumped and funneled into the wetland. The lake had been formed by a salt marsh reclamation project and was located southern coastal region of Korean Peninsula. Volumes and water quality of inflow and outflow were analyzed from July 2001 through December 2001. Inflow and outflow averaged $120.4m^3/day$ and $112.1m^3/day$, respectively. Hydraulic retention time was about 3.1 days. Average total phosphorous concentration of influent and effluent was $0.19mg/{\ell}$ and $0.075mg/{\ell}$, respectively. Total phosphorous loading rate of inflow and outflow averaged $12.05mg\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$ and $4.44mg\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$, respectively. Average total phosphorous removal rate in the wetland was $7.61mg\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$. Seasonal changes of phosphorous retention rates were observed. The wetland acted as effective phosphorous sinks in the initial stage of the constructed wetland.

This study investigated how the combined changes in environmental conditions and nitrogen (N) deposition influence the mineralization processes and carbon (C) dynamics of wetland soil. For this objective, we conducted a growth chamber experiment to examine the effects of combined changes in environmental conditions and N deposition on the anaerobic decomposition of organic carbon and the emission of greenhouse gases from wetland soil. A chamber with elevated $CO_2$ and temperature showed almost twice the reduction of total decomposition rate compared to the chamber with ambient atmospheric conditions. In addition, $CO_2$ fluxes decreased during the incubation under the conditions of ambient $CO_2$ and temperature. The decrease in anaerobic microbial metabolism resulted from the presence of vegetation, which influences the litter quality of soils. This can be supported by the increase in C/N ratio over the experimental duration. Principle component analysis results demonstrated the opposite locations of loadings for the cases at the initial time and after three months of incubation, which indicates a reduction in the decomposition rate and an increasing C/N ratio during the incubation. From the distribution between the decomposition rate and gas fluxes, we concluded that anaerobic decomposition rates do not have a significantly positive relationship with the fluxes of greenhouse gas emissions from the soil.

Pig breeding programs have been very successful in the improvement of animals by the simple expedient of focusing on a few traits of economic importance, particularly growth efficiency and leanness. Further reductions in leanness may become more difficult to achieve, due to reduced genetic variation, and less desirable, due to adverse correlated effects on meat and eating quality. Best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) of breeding values makes possible the incorporation of data from many sources and increases the value of including traits such as sow performance in the breeding objective. Advances in technology, such as electronic animal identification, electronic feeders, improved ultrasonic scanners and automated data capture at slaughter houses, increase the number of sources of information that can be included in breeding value predictions. Breeding program structures will evolve to reflect these changes and a common structure is likely to be several or many breeding farms genetically linked by A.i., with data collected on a number of traits from many sources and integrated into a single breeding value prediction using BLUP. Future developments will include the production of a porcine gene map which may make it possible to identify genes controlling economically valuable traits, such as those for litter size in the Meishan, and introgress them into nucleus populations. Genes identified from the gene map or from other sources will provide insight into the genetic basis of performance and may provide the raw material from which transgenic programs will channel additional genetic variance into nucleus populations undergoing selection.

경기도 양평지역의 유사한 입지에 인공조림된 40년생 리기다소나무와 낙엽송림에서 1995년 5월부터 11월까지 2주 간격으로 soda lime법으로 토양발생 이산화탄소량을 측정하였다. 뿌리호흡을 추정하기 위하여 처리구는 깊이 50-60cm로 주위에 도랑을 파서 뿌리를 끊고 주위의 뿌리가 침입하는 것을 방지하였다. 측정기간동안에 발생한 이산화탄소량은 연구대상 두 수종 간에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.01). 이산화탄소량은 리기다소나무 대조구에서 가장 높은 $0.38g/m^2/hr$를 보였고, 낙엽송 처리구에서 가장 낮은 $0.31g/m^2/hr$를 보였다. 이산화탄소 발생량이 리기다소나무 임지에서 낙엽송 임지에서보다 높은 것은 리기다소나무림에서 매년 공급되는 지상부 낙엽량이 많은 것과 직접적인 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다. 연간 이산화탄소 발생량은 23-27t/ha/yr로 추정되었다. 대기 및 토양온도와 이산화탄소 발생량 간에는 정의 상관관계가 있었으나 토양습도와 이산화탄소 발생량 간에는 유의한 상관관계가 발견되지 않았다. 대조구와 처리구 간의 이산화탄소 발생량 차이로 추정한 뿌리의 호흡은 전체 토양 발생 이산화탄소량 가운데 약 3%를 차지하고 있었다. 처리구의 도랑 깊이가 암석 등의 장애물로 인해 50-60cm로 한정되었고, 단근 후 곧바로 이산화탄소 발생량을 측정한 것 등이 뿌리 호흡을 과소 측정하게 하는 원인이 되었을 가능성이 있다. 세근을 포함한 지하부 유기물의 공급량 및 유기물의 성질 등 토양 발생 이산화탄소량에 영향을 주는 제반 인자들에 대한 보다 면밀한 장기간의 연구가 산림생태계 내 탄소의 순환을 이해하는데 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

Thirty-six (20 wethers and 16 rams) adult Gansu highland finewool sheep with an average liveweight of $19.42{\pm}1.83kg$ were used. The sheep were allocated to 4 treatments and confined in individual feeding stalls. The 80 day feeding trial was divided into 2 periods of 38 and 42 days. The sheep had access to clean water and were fed chopped wheat straw ad libitum. Daily supplemented diets of 150 g for the first period and 200 g for the later period were provided. The 4 types of supplements were: Wheat bran type (I), which is the traditional feeding practice in the area and the control group; Linseed cake type (II); Linseed cake+poultry litter type (III); Poultry litter+distiller grains type (IV). The digestibility trial was conducted using a total collection method at the end of the first period in the feeding trial. The results showed that the digestibilities of DM, OM, CP, CF, NDF and ADF in group II and III were increased to more than 50%. CP and NDF digestibility in group II were significantly increased by 23.6% and 25.5% respectively over group I (p<0.01) and by 10.1% and 13.1% respectively over group III (p<0.05). The digestibility of DM, OM, CP, CF, NDF and ADF in group IV was lower than group I by 4.4 to 8.4% (p>0.05). Compared to group I, group II and III increased straw intake by 17.6% (p<0.01) and 10.8% (p<0.05). The ADG increased from 16.2 g in group I to 45.3 g and 32.8 g (p<0.01) in group II and III respectively. The ratio of supplement intake to gain decreased from 10.7 in group I to 3.9 and 5.4 (p<0.01) in group II and III respectively. The ratio of supplement cost to gain also decreased by 60.0% and 64.3%, respectively. The wool growth rate and wool strength in these 2 groups were noticeably improved. This significantly enhanced the wool's textile value. The above parameters in group IV were lower than in group I, except the ratio of supplement cost to gain. This research indicates that local low quality nitrogen resources could be used effectively and economically to improve the utilization of wheat straw fed to sheep on smallholder farms under harsh loess plateau conditions in the winter.

Objective: To investigate the effects of low-dose trace mineral proteinates on reproductive performance, mineral status, milk immunoglobulin contents and fecal mineral excretion of sows. Methods: Eighty crossbred sows (Landrace×Large White) were randomly allocated to two groups in a 135-day trail, from breeding through 21 d postpartum. The two treatments were inorganic trace minerals (ITM): a basal diet+inorganic iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) at 90, 15, 25 and 90 mg/kg, respectively and organic trace minerals (OTM): a basal diet+proteinates of Fe, Cu, Mn, and Zn at 72, 12, 20, and 72 mg/kg, respectively. Results: Compared with ITM, OTM significantly increased (p<0.05) the number of piglets with birthweight >1 kg, the litter weaning weight, and milk Fe, Cu contents. No significant differences (p>0.05) were observed on sow hair mineral contents or immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgG, and IgA contents in colostrum and milk. In comparsion to ITM, OTM decreased fecal Fe, Cu, Mn, and Zn contents of gestating sows (p<0.01) and Fe, Mn, and Zn in lactating sows (p<0.01). Conclusion: These results indicate that low-dose mineral proteinates can increase the number of piglets with birthweight >1 kg, the litter weaning weight and certain milk mineral concentrations while reducing fecal mineral excretion.

10년 전부터 논농사가 중단되고 농업배수와 생활하수가 유입하여 식생이 번성한 습지에서 수질개선 효과를 측정하였다. 습지의 체류시간이 평균 1.2일로 매우 짧음에도 불구하고 SS와 질소의 제거효과는 높게 나타났다. 질산성질소의 제거효율은 평균 유입부하량의 61.4% (26.8 g/m$^{2}$/yr)로 조사항목 중 가장 높았으며, TN은 23.5% (45.1 g/m$^{2}$/yr), SS는 56% (1,515 g/m$^{2}$/yr)의 제거효율을 나타냈다. 습지에서의 유기물 제거효율은 낮았다. COD는 총 유입부하량의 14.2% (104 g/m$^{2}$/yr), VSS는 28.4% (28.4 g/m$^{2}$/yr)가 제거되었으나, DOC는 1.0% (7.6 g/m$^{2}$/yr)로 거의 제거되지 않았다. 평균 유입부하량이 32.5 g/m$^{2}$/yr이었던 TP는 대부분이 제거되지 않았으며 용존인의 경우는 유입된 인의 분해 및 퇴적물에서의 재용출에 의하여 습지로부터 유출되는 특성을 보였다. 습지에 설치된 enclosure에서는 물의 흐름이 차단되는 초기에 질산성질소를 제외하고 거의 모든 물질농도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상은 체류시간이 길어지면서 다시 인을 제외한 SS, 유기물(VSS, COD, DOC)과 총질소는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 식생과 습지 바닥에 축척되어 있는 식물고사체의 제거는 용존산소의 증가에 의한 질화작용으로 질산성질소의 농도가 증가할 뿐 습지의 정화효율에 미치는 영향은 적었다. 이것은 습지유출수의 유기물농도가 습지 내에 분포하는 식생보다는 퇴적된 유기물과 상부 수층간의 물질교환 평형에 의해 결정되는 것이며, 일부 퇴적층을 제거하고 체류시간을 늘인다고 해도 저질과의 평형농도 이상으로 수질을 개선할 수는 없다는 것을 의미한다. 한편 자연습지는 강우기의 유입수에 대하여 안정적인 처리효율을 보여 유역 비점원에서의 오염물질 유출방지에 활용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.
